>I´m sorry my english is very poor and it is by which perhaps does not express to me correctly, you suggest to me does not use a general field and that presents/displays the photo through its direction in a field memo, but, although like putting the direction in this field not like (in which object image or another one) to present/display the photo in the screen, and so that property I rescue this direction in the object.
As an alternative, you could mark your memo NOCPTRANS, and store the image in it:
replace table.memo with filetostr("yourimage.jpg")
and then when you want to show it
strtofile(table.memo, "image.jpg")
thisform.image1.picture="image.jpg"
This way you would still have the images inside your table, but without the overhead of the General field. General field always stores a bitmap of the stored object, and in case of images, it means that you have a jpg/gif/png image AND a bmp in your general field - which is the main reason for the bloat. So it's much more practical to store the image in a binary memo, without this overhead.
Also, the general field will give you an error if there's no application at the user's end which is registered as an automation host for that type of object. If you uninstall Paintbrush, it won't show your image files anymore - but if you just use regular VFP's Image object, it will work.
